Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for sending letters according to the preamble of claim 1, a subscriber station and a converter station for sending letters according to the preamble of claim 10 and claim 13, and a mailing device according to the preamble of claim 15.
  • the invention is based on an electronic mail service system, as described in patent specification P 24 32 398.6. With this system it is possible to send a letter to a postal recipient, the letter covering part of its way as an electronic letter, i.e. in the form of a data block that is sent over a communication network.
  • This electronic mail service system has the disadvantage that it is only possible to route letters from a sending point from postal delivery. However, it would be desirable to be able to also exchange letters directly between sending points and thus avoid postal delivery. Another disadvantage is that the transmitters only have a terminal function and are each connected to the exchange via a dedicated line. This means that a large number of poorly used dedicated lines are required. The use of a sending point is only worthwhile for applications with a high volume of letters, e.g. in large companies or as a public broadcasting station.
  • Electronic post systems also known as electronic mail or e-mail
  • Many of these systems work according to the CCITT standard X.400.
  • X.400 defines message transport services on layer 7 of the ISO reference model, which ensure reliable transmission of messages from a sender's computing system to a recipient's computing system.
  • the messages can be temporarily stored on the way (disturb and forward).
  • Electronic mail systems according to the X.400 standard have the advantage that they can be used to exchange electronic letters between computer systems practically worldwide. The sender of such an electronic letter creates the letter on his computer system, it is transferred to the recipient's computer system and displayed there to the recipient.
  • a disadvantage here is that the sender of a letter can only reach those recipients who have a computer system with a connection to the electronic mail system.
  • the invention is based on the object of sending letters to a plurality of possibly different equipped recipients via a communication network.
  • the object is achieved by a method according to the teaching of claim 1, by an input station and a converter station according to the teaching of claim 10 or claim 13 and a letter sending device according to the teaching of claim 15.
  • the basic idea of the invention is to send letters, which are intended for postal delivery, via a wide area communication network by means of a protocol, which is intended for the exchange of electronic letters, to one or more central locations which then send the letters on the basis of their postal recipients - Send the address to postal delivery stations using a second protocol.
  • the letters are then printed out, enveloped and delivered by the Post staff.
  • post and postal stand for the function of delivering letters and thus encompass all providers of this function.
  • Such Communication networks are often located at a high level in the ISO reference model and use services from a large number of communication networks that are located at a lower level in the ISO reference model. It is therefore often difficult to physically separate such networks from one another. They should rather be seen as logical communication networks, which differ, for example, in the type of protocol used in the application layer (application protocol).
  • the invention has the advantage that input stations can send both electronic letters and letters that are delivered by post. In this way, recipients can be reached both via electronic letters and via postal letters. Furthermore, the invention is characterized by an advantageous network structure.
  • the wide area communication network with the first protocol which has to serve a large number of sending points, is used by both types of mailing. This results in higher utilization.
  • Letters for postal delivery are forwarded from central offices to the issuing offices. At these points, the traffic from many transmission points is bundled, which leads to a high load on the connections in the communication network with the second protocol.
  • Another advantage is that no additional address, which stands for the postal receiving point, has to be added to the letter. This address is determined at central points from the recipient's postal address. It is also possible to react quickly to a change in the assignment of issuing offices to postal recipient addresses.
  • FIG. 1 shows a symbolic representation of a letter dispatch device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows a block diagram of a detail from a letter dispatch device according to the invention according to FIG. 1.
  • FIG. 1 shows three subscriber stations S1 to S3, two long-range communication networks KN1 and KN2, a converter station KON and three postal output stations P1 to P3.
  • the subscriber stations S1 to S3 are connected to the converter station KON via the long-range communication network KN1 and the converter station KON via the long-range communication network KN2 to the postal output stations P1 to P3.
  • the subscriber stations S1 to S3 consist of a computer with corresponding peripheral components which make it possible to enter a letter and to send it as an electronic letter to the converter station KON or to one of the other subscriber stations via the wide area communication network KN1. They also make it possible to receive and display letters from other subscriber stations S1 to S3.
  • the long-range communication network KN1 is an electronic post system, in which an application protocol according to the industry standard X.400 is used for the transmission. With such a system it is possible to exchange data packets practically worldwide.
  • Long-distance communication network KNl is composed of several different electronic post systems.
  • the converter station KON would then be connected to all of these systems, whereas a subset of the input stations S1 to S3 would be connected to one of these systems.
  • the exchange of electronic letters under the input stations S1 to S3 would then only be possible within these subsets.
  • the communication network KN2 is a telephone network.
  • the data from the converter device KON are transmitted via this communication network in an appropriately coded form using a suitable communication protocol. It is also possible to use the same wide area communication network as for the wide area communication network KN2. It is also possible to use the same application protocol.
  • the KON converter station receives via
  • Long-distance communication network KN1 letters from the input stations S1 to S3 and converts their data format so that it is understandable for the postal output stations P1 to P3. In addition, it determines one of the letters received postal delivery stations P1 to P3 as the destination delivery station. It then transmits the letter to this output station via the long-range communication network KN2.
  • the postal delivery stations P1 to P3 are Swiss Post printing centers.
  • the incoming letters are received here, the letters are printed out and enveloped.
  • the letters are then sent to Swiss Post's normal delivery service. It is advantageous to assign the delivery stations P1 to P3 to the delivery post offices of Swiss Post.
  • Letters are thus entered in the subscriber stations S1 to S3 and sent to the converter station KON via the wide area communication network KN1 using a first protocol, an application protocol based on the industry standard X.400.
  • a first protocol an application protocol based on the industry standard X.400.
  • There the data is converted into the postal data format which is understood by the postal delivery stations P1 to P3 and the destination of the postal destination delivery station is determined.
  • the data about the letters are then forwarded from the converter station KON to this postal output station using a second protocol, printed out there and forwarded for delivery.

  • the input station S1 has an input device INPUT, a memory device MEM, a control device CONTR, a communication device MAIL1 and an interface INTR1.
  • the input device INPUT exchanges data with the memory device MEM and with the control device CONTR.
  • the control device CONTR exchanges data with the communication device MAIL1 via the interface INTR1, which in turn sends and receives data to the wide area communication network KN1 via the interface INTR2.
  • the input device INPUT is formed by any text processing system. With such a system, letters can be created, saved and displayed. Control commands can be given from the word processing system, which are forwarded to the control device CONTR and e.g. arrange for a letter to be sent.
  • the input device INPUT is constructed differently. Letters e.g. be detected by an optical reader and additional input means for control commands are available.
  • the memory device MEM contains a recipient address file for postal recipient addresses. The contents of this recipient address file can be read out and changed by the control device CONTR.
  • the control device CONTR controls the sending of letters to the converter station KON. It uses the MAIL1 communication device. This is responsible for the communication processes according to the first protocol, which is specific for the wide area communication network KN1, and provides the control device CONTR with appropriate services, regardless of the first protocol.
  • the data exchange between the control device CONTR and the communication device MAIL1 takes place via the interface INTR1, which corresponds to the industry standard VIM / MAPI. This standardized interface makes it possible for the input station S1 to use a large number of different first protocols and thus different electronic post systems as a wide area communication network KN1 for communication with the converter station KON. For this purpose, different communication devices for different electronic mail systems are used as communication device MAIL1.

  • the recipient's postal address is recorded either directly from the letterhead or by selecting a recipient's postal address from the recipient's address file. It is also possible to do without this option.
  • the letter text and the recipient's postal address are then sent in a file in two separate data blocks, in an address data block and a text data block, by the control device CONTR via the communication device MAIL1, the interface INTR2 and the wide area communication network KN1 to the converter station KON .
  • the data format to which these files correspond depends on the word processing system that uses the input device INPUT. Different input stations can use different word processing systems, so that the files sent to the converter device KON can correspond to different data formats. It is also possible that different word processing systems are available in an input station, from which the user can choose one.
  • the address data block would contain an entire list of such addresses instead of a single postal recipient address.
  • a letter present in the input device INPUT is sent by the control device CONTR to one of the two other subscriber stations S2 and S3 as an electronic letter.

  • the communication devices MAIL2 and COM are responsible for receiving letters using the first communication protocol over the wide area communication network KN1 or for sending letters using the second communication protocol over the wide area communication network KN2.
  • the CONV conversion device carries out a format conversion into the postal format.
  • the destination device VOT determines from the postal recipient address of a letter the address of those of the postal delivery stations P1 to P3 for which the letter is intended.
  • a letter, separated into address and text data blocks, is sent from the input station S1 to the converter station KON.
  • the communication device MAIL2 receives these two data blocks and first checks whether the sender of these two files has access rights to the converter station KON.
